The LS 600-DA-IBS is a two-part light beam system for the serial infrared data transmis-
sion over a range of 200 m with a baud rate of up to 500 kbaud.
The devices contain each one transmitter andreceiver sothat to built one full duplexpath
just one pair of devices is required. The transmission takes place in real time and is pro-
tocol free. The bus driver termination is due to InterBus-S.
4.1 Data transmission
The data are transmitted in full duplex mode. They are carried by infrared light beams.
The light is modulated by frequency shift keying (FSK).
To avoid interference, for both directions of transmission are chosen two different center-
frequenciesF1andF2,i.e.thetransmitter in the unit LS 600-DA/ F1 works with frequency
F1, the receiver in the same housing works with F2, and vice versa on the opposite side.
The red function indicator LED under the covering of the viewfinder on top of the housing
illuminates, when the signal strength is just sufficient for operation. (function reserve fac-
tor 1). The data transmission is only released after having passed this signal level.
When signal strength reaches the double value of that level, the green function indicator
LED illuminates and shows a sufficient function reserve. The indication of function re-
serve is independent from data transmission.
An additional optical system was integrated besides the receiver-lens to ease the align-
ment. It flashes red, after switching power on. This grants the receiver to be perceptible
even on a long distance.
After adjusting the devices on at least signal level of factor two, this indication goes out.
4.2 Interface
The LS 600-DA-IBS has a data refreshing circuitry as well as data flow circuits being gal-
vanically isolated from the power supply.
For indicating bus-activity there is a yellow LED for receiving data, a green one for trans-
mitting data.
In case of light beam interruption, the idle-state level "low" is automatically activated due
to falling below the level of function reserve factor 1.
It is very likely that data messages are destroyed in the moment of turning to complete
interruption. This can only be avoided if the interruption is avised with a maintenance sig-
nal, which is usually used for switching off the transmitter.
The InterBus-signal RBST (BCI) is not served.
